Baked Chicken

Baked Chicken

A little lemon juice and an herb give a pleasant flavor to mild white chicken meat. To ensure juicy, tender meat, be careful not to overcook it.

Ingredients

1 boneless chicken breast half

1/2 lemon

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

1 teaspoon dried dill or tarragon, or minced fresh parsley

Butter

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Put the chicken in a very small baking dish and squeeze some lemon juice over it. Season with salt and pepper and sprinkle with dill, tarragon or parsley. Dot with a little butter and cover the dish tightly with foil.

Bake for 15 minutes, or until internal temperature measures 165 degrees on an instant-read thermometer.
